Lithographed world map, in color. Shows political boundaries and significant events from May 12 to 18, 1950. Relief illustrated with hachures. "This semi-elliptical projection may be termed a compromise between the two-dimensional Mercator and the three-dimensional presentation of the globe. It reduces distortion in areas near the pole and maintains a close approximation of proportion in the land and sea areas ... " Includes information on the Ottoman Empire, with explanatory text, as well as descriptive text throughout, e.g.: Western Turkistan : The original home of the Ottoman Turks was in western Turkistan, from where they were driven in 1220 by the Mongols of Genghis Kahn. Map indexed according to historical notes beneath map. With inset map: Truman's travels. Also, with diagram: Women in industry. Map is 47 x 115 cm, on sheet 89 x 120 cm, folded to 31 x 23 cm.
